A central person connected to the investigation into the killing of political commentator Charlie Kirk has reportedly disappeared from public view.
Lance Twiggs, 22, identified as the romantic partner of the accused gunman, Tyler Robinson, has not been seen at the Utah residence they shared and appears to have left the area entirely. This development comes weeks after the fatal shooting at a university event.
While early reports indicated Twiggs was assisting law enforcement, their current location is unknown. Authorities have confirmed the individual has maintained no contact with news outlets in the lead-up to the judicial proceedings.
Investigative sources revealed that prior to the arrest, Robinson allegedly confessed the details of the crime to Twiggs. The vehicle registered to Twiggs was last seen at their parents’ home in St. George, though it remains unclear if they have returned there.
Neighbors near the couple’s former home noted the residence has been completely still and quiet since the incident, describing the sense of shock in what is typically a peaceful community.
Twiggs’ relationship with their family has been described as strained. While some relatives have cited behavioral conflicts, friends and former educators have characterized Twiggs as a conscientious and kind person who excelled academically.
The disappearance adds another layer of complexity to an investigation that has drawn intense national scrutiny. Officials have not commented on whether this is considered a voluntary departure or a cause for deeper concern.
